Faculty Growth

Six new faculty representing biomedical engineering, neuroengineering, chemical engineering, and solid mechanics will join Brown's School of Engineering, part of a multiyear investment in the school’s growth.

Drug Delivery

In a new study, a “bioadhesive” coating developed at Brown University significantly improved the intestinal absorption into the bloodstream of nanoparticles that someday could carry protein drugs such as insulin. Such a step is necessary for drugs taken by mouth, rather than injected directly into the blood.
